I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach

Review by Tilly

I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach by Allison and Wayne Marks! This book is about two kids named Jack and Jillian who enter a cooking contest together that will be live on TV. The person running the contest, Phineas Farnsworth III, is Jack’s idol. Jillian’s mom died, and Farnsworth really wants her to talk about it at the competition, but Jillian doesn’t want to. Farnsworth tries to get Jack to convince her, and Jack almost does it. But then he finds something out that turns him against Farnsworth. There’s a plot twist that’s really unexpected! I would probably rate this book 4/5 stars. I also really liked the recipes at the end of the book. I am going to make the rugelach! I think this book is perfect for kids who like stories about baking, kindness, and friendship!

I really enjoyed The $150,000 Rugelach! I loved how it has recipes in the back. I even made some! I would highly recommend this book to any one who likes baking. Even if you don't enjoy baking, I would still recommend it.👍

Yummy Food, Suspense, and Drama

Review by SingingTree

I liked how it was about two people who were very different but in the end, got along well. There was a lot of suspense and drama which is something I really enjoyed. If you like yummy food, suspense, and drama, then it might be worth taking a look at this book.
